Title basically. I was here at the very start of it all and really enjoyed it. However I felt it lost its uniqueness within a few months of mass migration and started turning a bit like reddit again so I deleted my old account. However Reddit has only gotten much much worse since, and Lemmy has stayed about the same. So here again.

there has been a huge uptick in engagement bait here since the new year. i have had to block people who post it on almost a daily basis the past two months.

Yes and we should at least downvote it while we have critical mass

What do you think about engagement baiting?

it's stupid and if i see a user repeatedly doing it I block them so I don't have their nonsense posts in my feed.
